* To auction over 150 forfeited houses
By Egena Sunday Ode
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has so far recovered over N30 billion from the suspended Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Idris Ahmed.
Chairman of the commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, disclosed this on Thursday while making presentations at the weekly Ministerial Media Briefing organized by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Idris is currently being prosecuted by the Commission over alleged N109 billion fraud.
Giving highlights of the achievements of the anti-graft body from January to December, 2022, Bawa said other recoveries by the agency included N134,33,759,574.25, $121,769,076.30, £21,020.00, €156,925.00, ¥21,350.00, CFA300,000.00.
He also disclosed that 3,615 convictions had been recorded during the period.
According to the EFCC boss, approximately 150 houses across the country would be sold to potential buyers after the ongoing statewide auction of forfeited cars.
He said it would be pretty difficult for money to be laundered when the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCMUL) became fully operational.
